Montauk Boardrider Co. cofounder George Wilson surfs hurricane waves near Turtle Cove in September 2014.

Surf Bound

It’s not hard to love the Hamptons. The area represents something different to everyone; for [Montauk Boardrider Co. cofounder] Charlie [Weimar] and I, it represents family and surfing. We both grew up out here—Charlie as the son of a commercial fisherman in Montauk, and me, the son of a teacher in Sag Harbor. Sea lungs (salt in the lungs that makes breathing painful) was a normal part of our childhood summer months. It still is. Charlie was essentially born on the water and Georgica Beach, and East Hampton was my second home since my father was a lifeguard there in the late ’60s and much of the ’70s. For a surfer, the Hamptons offers a variety of waves in a relatively

30 hamptons-magazine.com

small geographical area—from rock shelves and reefs to beach breaks and jetties. Although we were separated by the Napeague stretch, Charlie and I would end up sitting next to each other in the lineup on any good swell, whether it was at the point or at a beach break where the sand was good. We’ve both had our epic days—every surfer does. It’s a day when you’re surfing well and the surf is good. That’s me pictured at the point during a hurricane swell. As a surfer, you can stare at photos like these for hours, daydreaming and mind surfing. It brings you back to a day when nothing else mattered. We’ve both chased surf to remote parts of the earth, but are always happy to come back home. 603-8799; montaukboardriders.com H

#SHOPHAMPTONS Head to hamptons-magazine.com to see my weekly summer essentials.

With authors and friends Ali Wentworth and Katie Lee. Both share exclusive looks into their new books, out this summer; with chef Eric Ripert (LEFT), who wrote the forward to Annie Falk’s Hamptons Entertaining book, and André Balazs. who gives us a preliminary peek at the changes to Sunset Beach this season; with Lisa Perry at her East Hampton shop. Find out about Lisa’s covet-worthy collaboration with Manolo Blahnik on page 188.

SUMMER 2015 IS FINALLY HERE —the social media blitz building up to it was versatile and visually stimulating. Snow photos dominated the off-season and once the warmer months were on the horizon, flowers and farmstands appeared to take over everyone’s feeds. This kick-off issue of Hamptons is packed with all those things everyone has been craving leading up to Memorial Day, a snapshot of what is about to be a brilliant summer. Many new shops have opened: among my favorites are Elad Yifrach’s L’Objet à la Plage in Southampton; Figue in East Hampton; and Copious Row in Sag Harbor. All of their shiny new shelves are stocked with curated products that I crave for my summer wardrobe and dinner parties. However, the question everyone always asks me is, “What’s happening on the culinary scene?” Let me be the ﬁrst to tell you that Morimoto is now catering in the Hamptons; restaurants aplenty have opened, including Le Charlot, a classic French bistro in Southampton; and NYC transplants Sirio, Scarpetta at the Beach, and Beautique already have wait lists. Beach reads are also a big part of the summer season. High on the list for me is Aliza Licht’s Leave Your Mark and My Paris Dream by Kate Betts. I will be moderating a discussion with Aliza, Kate, and several other authors

who are featured in this issue’s “First Edition” column on page 119 on June 5 at Bay Street Theater. To buy tickets to this “Creators, Cocktails, and Conversations” event, visit baystreet.org. To start the season we’ve enlisted the pure, raw power of duo Gwyneth Paltrow and Tracy Anderson as our cover stars. The eco-conscious Goop founder and ﬁtness superstar have partnered with a friend of mine and theirs, Maria Baum, to launch 3 Green Hearts, a clean living food program, as well as Tracy’s second studio, this one in East Hampton. Finally, there’s a project that I’ve been working on during the quieter winter months that I’m excited to share called #ShopHamptons, where we will celebrate the artisans and shopkeepers of the East End. What I feel the most passionate about is connecting our readers to great local products. From regionally made culinary items to exclusive only-sold-in-the-Hamptons goods, visit hamptons-magazine.com #ShopHamptons. Welcome to Hamptons summer 2015; be well, dress well.

// LETTER // from the Publisher

LET’S GET STARTED! As we embark on our 37th year of publishing, I could not be more enthusiastic. As the days get longer, we prepare our homes for family and guests and we start to carve out time for ourselves to take a break from our normal routine to enjoy the beauty and richness of our community. With the winter behind us, we have pent-up desire to start our summer in earnest.

This season promises to be one of excitement, involvement, and evolution. We are excited to experience all the cultural and philanthropic events that keep us busy and engaged. We have our noteworthy contributors, readers, and artists community involved in our Hamptons lifestyle. There is an evolution in the way we celebrate our area with continued deep community support and awareness for all things cultural, wellness-related, philanthropic, and conservational. This summer we have elevated the lens and we will all be benefiting from this awareness. Our own company, Niche Media, has taken a stand in that regard: Meatless Mondays is one of the initiatives we have instituted to enable our employees to help in saving the environment. What are you and the company you keep doing to make a difference? This season Hamptons magazine’s digital footprint will be more compelling than ever before. As we grow and evolve, you can follow us at all times—and in real time—in our magazine; online at hamptons-magazine.com; on social media, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @HamptonsMag, and by

attending our events or the many we support all season long. We will be implementing and finetuning both new and noteworthy initiatives this season, including our annual “In Good Taste” section on page 153, which highlights our great restaurant partners, ones that I recommend you visit this season. Our expanded restaurant guide in the back of the magazine will appear in every issue and will help you navigate the Hamptons’ culinary scene. Look for our three-part lecture series with Editor-in-Chief Samantha Yanks at Bay Street Theater starting Friday, June 5. Finally, we’ve deepened our partnerships with many of the East End’s cultural institutions as well as the philanthropic website charitybuzz.com as we continue moving forward with another community-based summer of giving. So enjoy the holiday weekend, stay healthy and happy, and I’ll see you in town.

She talks with Tommy Hilfiger for “Design by the Dunes.” What event are you most looking forward to this season? The first-ever Hamptons event for Literacy Partners on June 6 at Wölffer Estate Vineyard. I’m on the board of Literacy Partners, a wonderful nonprofit that supports programs that teach adults how to read and write. Any big plans for this summer? This summer I will be busy editing the memoir of Donna Karan, which will be released in October. Where in the Hamptons can you be spotted? I love Tutto il Giorno in Southampton, Harlow East in Sag Harbor, and Swallow East in Montauk. I also love Babette’s in East Hampton for brunch. Off-season, I am often at Pierre’s and Almond in Bridgehampton. I work out with Mary Ann Browning at Brownings Fitness in Southampton and my favorite shops are Henry Lehr for casual clothes, Gail Rothwell for party and city clothes, and Scoop Beach for everything.

Executive chef

Web Entrepreneur

Sag Harbor’s Eric Ripert is an award-winning chef, author, and television personality. His restaurant Le Bernardin in NYC has been ranked among the best restaurants in the world. In this issue’s “Spirit of Generosity,” he interviews author Annie Falk about her book that benefits the Peconic Baykeeper. Why is Peconic Baykeeper meaningful to you? The Peconic Baykeeper is the only independent, not-for-profit advocate dedicated to the protection of the aquatic ecosystems of the Peconic and South Shore estuaries of Long Island. As chef of Le Bernardin, a seafood-focused restaurant in New York City, the drive for safer and cleaner waters is an initiative that is very important to me. Best Hamptons restaurants? There are so many! I really enjoy Nick & Toni’s, it’s iconic. I also enjoy Pierre’s, The Beacon, The American Hotel, Sen, and, of course, Sunset Beach. I also love to cook at home and source from all the excellent farmstands, fishmongers, and butchers. What is your go-to dish to cook for summer entertaining? I invite family and friends and cook a big seafood paella—it’s one of my favorite summer traditions.

Australian photographer, writer, and director Robyn Lea has been published in The New York Times, Architectural Digest, and Harper’s Bazaar. Recent projects include a coffee table book chronicling her years of living and working in Italy titled Milan: Discovering Food, Fashion and Family in a Private City; a film with fashion designer Antonio Berardi; and the release of Dinner with Jackson Pollock: Recipes, Art & Nature, which she gives us a first look at in the feature “Artful Eating.” What’s one memorable moment you had while writing Dinner with Jackson Pollock? Meeting Jackson’s niece, Francesca Pollock and hearing her beautiful stories about her father, Charles Pollock. Charles nurtured Jackson’s love of art, and encouraged him to join him at art school in New York. What is your favorite recipe in the book? It seems to change depending on the season. In the winter, I love the slowcooked pot roast that I cooked in a big Le Creuset pot, just as Jackson and Lee Krasner did in their own kitchen, and in the summer, the tabbouleh or wild forest greens with anchovy French dressing—yum!

Andrew Steinthal has been on the music industry grind since high school, ending up at Warner Bros. Records as a VP of PR before leaving to run The Infatuation (a mobile app and website giving restaurant reviews) full-time. Check out this issue’s “Cui-Scene” for his favorites from the Hamptons dining scene. What prompted you to leave the music industry and start The Infatuation? We had been building The Infatuation for five years while holding down full-time jobs. It got to a point where if we wanted The Infatuation to realize its full potential, we had to focus on it full-time. So last April, we made the jump and left our full-time gigs. Best decision of my life. Haven’t looked back since. Which Hamptons restaurant was your first review for The Infatuation? Most of our Hamptons coverage comes in the form of guides. That being said, Topping Rose House has a full review. It’s an incredible restaurant, operating at a really high level. All-time favorite Hamptons meal? Lobster roll at Lunch. No contest. Not much in life makes me happier.

Hardware for Hamptons Living Since 1946

Photographers René Hallen and Radka Leitmeritz, from Cologne and Prague, respectively, work between New York, Paris, and Los Angeles. Their fashion photography has appeared in T Magazine, W Magazine, Vanity Fair, and The Wall Street Journal, while their solo exhibits have spanned Europe and New York City. In this issue René and Radka photographed cover stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Tracy Anderson as well as the “Minimal Standards” fashion feature. Who is on your photography bucket list? Before moving to LA, we worked mostly on fashion and beauty. Now living in LA, we really enjoy working with celebrities and would love to collaborate on a movie poster. But if we had to pick a person, it would have to be David Bowie. Any words of advice for aspiring photographers? Give yourself enough time to create your own style. Despite what many think, you want to be recognized by your work, not by your references. What is your camera of choice? For both our professional and personal projects we use a Leica S system. We can’t imagine working with any other.

Jeffrey Slonim has owned a house in East Hampton for 18 years and has been writing for Hamptons magazine for far longer. He has written for Men’s Vogue, Vogue Italia, Allure, and Interview magazine. This issue, Slonim interviewed Ali Wentworth for “Ebb & Flow.” Slonim is also a regular contributor to Hamptons-Magazine.com. Tell us about your interview with Ali Wentworth. My interview with Ali Wentworth was fun. In theory, my column is about a walk on the beach with a celebrity, but she was heading to Puerto Rico the next day, so we took a mental walk together. What are you looking forward to most this summer? I love renting Hobie Cats at the Puff ’n’ Putt golf course in Montauk and sailing to The Surf Lodge and back. I love driving the back roads in my beat-up old Jeep Wagoneer, and once or twice a summer, I seem to get invited to Anne Hearst and Jay McInerney’s—and that is always a treat. What’s your favorite neighborhood? Old Montauk. I love the bakery in town, sailing on Lake Montauk, Puff ’n’ Putt, Ditch Plains beach, getting ice cream with my wife and kids at Ben & Jerry’s, Star Island, and taking the ferry to Block Island.

Scott Feldman entrepreneur

A 25-plus year veteran of the hospitality and lifestyle industry and one of Crain’s New York Business ’s 40 Under Forty in 2004, Feldman is the founder of Two Twelve, a public information design firm, which was recently acquired by Next Model Management. In this issue he interviews Katie Lee for “Chef’s Table.” What dining

trends do you think will be big this season? Simple preparation and fresh from the ground—I think vegetables will be the stars of the show this season. Any favorite local food shops or farmstands? I love walking through the farmers market at Nick & Toni’s before the weekend and picking up everything I need from Mecox cheeses to Wölffer Estate Vineyard rosé and some amazing pickings from Balsam Farms (usually the sashitto peppers and radishes fire-roasted on the grill). Fresh mozzarella from Red Horse Market and seafood from The Seafood Shop in Wainscott are also musts. If you could interview any famous chef or food personality, who would it be? Joe Baum. He is a legend of hospitality, and I would love to hear his stories of what the industry was like back in the day.

Zev Starr-tambor Photographer

A cinematographer and fashion photographer, Zev Starr-Tambor’s winters are spent shooting fashion collections, documentary films, and commercials from Cape Town and Rio de Janeiro, to his home studio in Tribeca. His summers are spent surfing and shooting for Hamptons magazine, including Ali Wentworth for this issue’s “Ebb & Flow.” Gives us some behind-the-scenes details from this issue’s shoot. We met in Southampton on a late spring/pre-summer day—one of those lucky early hints of summer when there are still a few cold days ahead before warm weather is really here. When you have a woman with a vibrant personality like Ali Wentworth to photograph, you just let her energy shine toward the lens, and in the decisive moment, click. If the tables were turned, what photographer would you want to shoot you? Elliott Erwitt! A master photographer with the best sense of humor of any photographer, ever, and a Hamptons local. What does your dream Hamptons day consist of? A morning run on the beach from Atlantic Avenue to the Napeague stretch, followed by a crisp swim in the Atlantic. Lunch at Hampton Chutney Co., yoga at Yoga Shanti, and a race to my secret beach for a sunset surf.

Please forgive artist Ross Bleckner if he gracefully declines any one of the many invitations that come his way this summer. “I have a deadline to get all my work done—and it’s not about having a show,” says the painter, now 65, who states he often thinks about his own mortality. “Anything you have left to say, you better say it quickly. It’s something I think about every day.” That’s not to say Bleckner is anywhere close to painting his final canvas; in fact, he’s got a wealth of work on display around the Hamptons and beyond, and already has plans in the works for a show with his friends and fellow CalArts alumni Eric Fischl and David Salle at the Parrish Art Museum in 2016. On June 20 of this year, a series of Bleckner’s sketches will be mounted alongside works by artists such as Jack Ceglic, Ahn Duong, Cindy Sherman, and Chuck Close in “Selfies and Portraits of the East End,” a self-portrait exhibition at Guild Hall. “I don’t do them very often,” says Bleckner of the self-portraits. “I have to be in the mood. When I just come home from the dentist and I’m lying on the bed and I grab a mirror and have the desire to draw because I took a pain killer—that’s when I do a self-portrait. It’s not really part of what I do; it’s just note-taking.” One of the art world’s most enlightened painters, whose work is in the collections of the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, New York’s Museum of Modern Art and Guggenheim Museum, and The Museum of continued on page 98

Ross Bleckner has myriad works of art on display throughout the Hamptons; he is pictured here working on a current piece, titled My New Brain.

—ross bleckner

Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, among others, Bleckner himself has an unconventional collection of his own work. “I keep paintings from different phases,” he says. “A flower painting, a couple of striped paintings, a bird painting—like, when I kind of feel like I’m making a body of work. Usually I keep the one that is not finished or the one I don’t like, but then I end up liking it.” Born on Long Island, Bleckner first came to the Hamptons as a teenager. “I grew up on the South Shore, Nassau County, so it was a natural vacation place all my life,” he says. “I went out with my parents and I went out in high school. After you get your license, it’s a big deal—you drive out to the Hamptons, you take the car, you go out for the day with your friends.” After graduating college, he rented a house in Wainscott. “Residencies would be a terrific idea but the fact that it’s not cheap anymore is a problem,” he says of attracting more artists to the Hamptons. “[The cost of living here] drives young artists away, so they go upstate. That’s the way it always goes. Different generations of artists settle in different places.” Most famously, Bleckner bought and restored writer Truman Capote’s former house in Sagaponack in 1992. Says Bleckner, “I sold the house last summer. The truth is that I had it for 25 years and I was ready for a change. So I went and bought a really, really pretty house up in the Springs, by the bay; it’s a very

small property, very sweet. I had to really update it. It’s like a simple loft—very chic. I don’t have a studio yet but I’m looking. I’m going to buy another little piece of land and build a studio. I separate where I live from where I work so that I can get out a little.” Looking further into the future, the Parrish will present an important show with his friends and contemporaries Eric Fischl and David Salle titled “Unfinished Business” in July 2016. “It’s about our coming of age, really, and a certain period in our life when we all settled in the Hamptons,” says Bleckner of the exhibition, organized by Parrish adjunct curator David Pagel, which will feature large-scale images that, according to the museum, will reveal the artists’ own ambivalence and inquiry, as evidenced in Bleckner’s and Fischl’s multilayered pictures of disparate worlds and Salle’s mix-and-match compositions. This year, Bleckner plans to enjoy a relaxing summer in East Hampton with his three dachshunds, Ratsy, Franklin, and Winston. Also on his schedule is giving back to the East End through a number of charity initiatives to which he donates his time and art. Bleckner is a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN and served as the president of the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America (ACRIA). “I was president of the board for 17 years. I’m still active in ACRIA, but I’ve moved on,” says Bleckner, who also regularly teaches at NYU.

Although Bleckner threatened to move to Connecticut after one particularly busy season, he says, “I actually threaten a lot of things but don’t do that many of them,” adding, “Maine has always had a tremendous allure and mystique for me. It’s actually my favorite state in the country. I had a number of fantasies about where to live, but in the end I’m very comfortable on the East End.” H

// PEOPLE // Ebb & Flow breakdown about every aspect of my life in terms of what’s the back nine in marriage and parenting. Was there fallout from Lena Dunham calling your husband, George, “a sexual icon” on Good Morning America—women chasing him? I assumed they already were, but he is hard to catch. He has weird hours, vampire hours. Will he be shocked that you call him a bad driver? No, he is mercilessly mocked by our two daughters and me. He really is the worst driver. We just got a new SUV, and he already got into an accident. But he’s so strong in other areas. Meanwhile, you have test-driven houses in several towns out East. We had a place out in East Hampton for many years, then in Amagansett. But now we live in Southampton—90 minutes door to door. When we used to drive out, even in the winter, by the time we got to the Southampton exit, we were fighting. One of the kids had already peed in the car. George was filing for divorce. We couldn’t take that other half hour to East Hampton. We can’t take the train because we have dogs. Now I go out for the summer with the kids and the dogs, and he takes the train or… That East Hampton Airport sure is cute. He doesn’t fly. We don’t have the Matt Lauer contract. He does the Cannonball [express] train. Do you comb the beach on the East End? We have two dogs—a morbidly obese dachshund named Daisy and a mutt named Charlie. Every

afternoon in the summer, George and I take them for a walk on the beach. Which beaches do you love? We used to go to Egypt Beach in East Hampton and everybody said, “Why are you going to move to Southampton? It’s so snobby.” But now I find East Hampton to be more intimidating. It’s more congested and celebrity-packed. Southampton seems really sleepy by comparison. Which restaurants do you love? Because of our new ’hood, we go to Red Bar a lot; we go to Tutto il Giorno. Dreesen’s doughnuts are almost worth the trip to East Hampton. And, of course, Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton. Oh, my God, it’s amazing; farm-to-table gourmet—it’s lovely. And if you’re sitting outside, there is Paul McCartney. The brunch there has homemade doughnuts, and it’s so good. And we go to Pierre’s in Bridgehampton. Pierre’s has delicious French comfort food. What else do you love about the Hamptons? The light, the beaches, and I do love our friends. For some reason, you have a calmer, nicer time with your New York City friends out here. I love that we have the space, the backyard, and the porch to hang out in a way we don’t in the city. We go out in the winter, too, and we make fires. And George makes big, weird Greek lamb stews. And the people? One of my best friends is Mariska Hargitay. And it’s impossible to see Mariska during the winter because

she shoots 17 hours a day. But in the summer, I get to see her running around in her bathing suit with her kids. And Debra Messing comes out every once in a while; Alec Baldwin and Hilaria stop by. Do you boat? No, George is not a boat person. But every once in a while, I have a conversation with somebody who says, “Yeah, I go out and fish”—everyone from some fisherman in Montauk to Matt Lauer promises to take me fishing. Then I’m always reluctant to say, “Hey, remember you said….” H Ali Wentworth’s book is available at Harbor Books, 120 Main St., Sag Harbor. Head to hamptonsmagazine.com for more.

And, while Silverman has yet to discover a Hamptons-based photographer, she says she’s constantly searching out new talent. “Last summer I was building the business and this will be the first summer I’ll be out here since the site has launched,” she says. “But I will surely be on the lookout.” thesefinewalls.com H

While working behind the scenes as a photo-shoot producer for Michael Kors, Sagaponack resident Lisa Eryn Silverman grew frustrated with the amount of incredible work that never saw the light of day. “I noticed that the photographers had amazing portfolios filled with work that wasn’t for sale,” says Silverman, who is also a photographer. “They would capture so many photographs on a shoot and then only a select few images would be seen by the public.” Determined to give these talents a way to showcase their work beyond the confines of a roadside billboard or glossy magazine, Silverman created These Fine Walls, an online platform that sells never-before-seen work of editorial photographers. “Most of the photographers on the site are established and have been published in major print publications,” she says. “In the world of fine art, though, most are up-and-comers just entering the market for the first time.” These Fine Walls currently features a selection of images from a curated group of photographers, including Benjamin Kanarek, a Paris-based photographer known for his cinematic style; Rebecca Litchfield, who focuses on abandoned and decaying spaces; and Silverman herself, whose work incorporates iconic brands like Prada, Chanel, and Hermès into digitally altered images. In addition, Silverman recently collaborated with James Wojcik, a famed still-life photographer and former teacher of Silverman’s, to create a series of works specifically for the site. Each photograph is available in a variety of sizes, with prices ranging from $150–$3,500. Says Silverman, “Fashion photography was the gem hidden in plain sight. When you experience an image out of the context of a page in a magazine, it becomes so much more—it becomes art.” Silverman likens experiencing a beautiful photograph to spending time in the Hamptons, one of her

New Wave

famed surfer and environmentalist elly Slater debuts an eco-friendly furniture collection this season. by paul chi “I see a lot of pollution around the world and it leaves an impression,” says surfer Kelly Slater, the most award-winning in the sport’s history. “It’s easy to feel disconnected to it, but when you pay attention, it’s frightening to realize we are all part of a larger problem.” His commitment to global conservation has lead Slater to team up with Pottery Barn Teen to create an environmentally friendly home furnishing collection. His debut line, available at Pottery Barn’s Southampton location, includes bedding and furniture made with sustainable materials.

Slater’s personal favorite is the teardrop-shaped Latitude Lounger, which is filled with recycled foam from cars seats. “It’s super comfortable,” says Slater, “It’s my TV chair.” An 11-time World Tour Champion who began honing his wave-riding skills at age 5 in Cocoa Beach, Florida, Slater won his first international title in 1992 at age 20, making him surfing’s youngest champion. “The ocean feels like home,” he says. “Surfing is about being harmonious with nature and in tune with the ocean.” Slater remembers his first visit to the East End nearly three decades ago. “When I was 14, I camped in a van near Ditch Plains with my mentor, [surfer] Matt Kechele,” he recalls. “One morning we came over the sand dunes to find this perfect shore break and swell. Only two of us were on the beach getting perfect little tubes. We filmed each other in 20-minute sessions and couldn’t believe our luck.” At 43, when most pro surfers have retired from the sport, Slater continues to conquer waves in exotic locales, and his commitment to the environment is stronger than ever. “My love for the ocean is the same as it was back then,” he says. “I feel in sync with myself when I’m in the water. It’s everything to me.” Although his collaboration with Pottery Barn Teen is his first foray into home design, the former Baywatch actor hopes it will show consumers how simple it is to help the planet by making eco-conscious decisions. “If you can make it easier for people to make environmentally friendly choices, that adds to the bigger picture,” says Slater. “Any of us can help make a difference.” Pottery Barn, 1 Hampton Road, Southampton, 283-0141; potterybarn.com H

Turn The Tables

Eric ripErt: What inspired you to create Hamptons Entertaining: Creating Occasions to Remember? AnniE FAlk: I would say my passions, in terms of giving back, are about the children and the environment. And on a personal level, I’m crazy about planning events, entertaining, and cooking. Like many volunteers, I do a lot of fundraising events and raise money for various charities, but I realized with my first book, [Palm Beach Entertaining: Creating Occasions to Remember], which benefited the Children’s Home Society of Florida, that combining my two passions—my love of children and the environment and my love of food and entertaining, I could actually have a double impact on the organizations that I care about, because the books not only raise money, they also bring awareness to the cause and bring awareness on a large scale because they’re being sold nationally. All of the author’s proceeds from this book benefit the peconic Baykeeper. Why did you choose to support that organization? My book agent called to say there was a publisher interested in doing a second book with me. Creating these books is a tremendous amount of

work, and at the time I really wasn’t sure I wanted to take this on. That week, I just happened to have been invited to a girls’ night out, and I was seated next to my friend Maureen Sherry, who serves on the board of the Peconic Baykeeper. We got to talking about what was going on with the organization and when I mentioned this book, she really encouraged me to take on the project because it was just great timing all around. The Baykeeper is in a growth phase and it is accomplishing more than ever. There is a new executive director on board [Daniel J. Gulizio] and the organization just received an incredibly generous gift from Haris Wehrmann’s estate: a property on the water with an existing barn it hopes to convert into a science center. Essentially, it will become a learning space for children to explore marine biology. Then and there, over dinner, I decided I would create this book. I want to help people understand why the Baykeeper’s work is so important, and I can envision that barn full of [children with] young, curious minds. How does that organization impact the Hamptons?

“The Baykeeper is in a growTh phase and iT is accomplishing more Than ever.”—annie falk There are so many different things it is doing that are impacting our area, but for me at the moment, one of the most compelling reasons I want to bring more awareness to its mission is because, in recent summers, Lake Agawam, Georgica Pond, Sag Pond, and others have all experienced instances of blue-green algae, [which] can emit a neurotoxin that’s very harmful to humans and animals. [In 2013] a little Jack Russell terrier was thirsty after a run and drank from one of the ponds; later, he started convulsing, and he died. It was confirmed that he died from the water he drank. The good news, though, is that this problem is solvable. The Baykeeper and the scientists it is involved with [believe], at this particular moment, Suffolk County has the least restrictive sanitary standards in the country, and that’s out of more than 3,000 counties. We’re still relying on a septic-tank system, and with all the population growth, that system can’t serve us any longer. We didn’t inherit this problem with the water— we caused it—and we can clean it up, and awareness is the first step. How long ago did you get involved with the Baykeeper? I’ve been involved with the Waterkeeper Alliance, which is an umbrella organization, for many years, but the Baykeeper made it on to my radar about 12 years ago; and it really was driven by my children. I have two girls who are 18 and 21 now, and, at the time, we were working with a not-for-profit organization in Southampton. It gave me the go-ahead on doing a children’s swim-a-thon. Halfway through that project, I realized the kids are working so hard and they’re raising all this money, they should decide where it goes. So I and a few adults brought in three or four local organizations to meet with

110 hamptons-magazine.com

the kids and explain what they do, and the Baykeeper was one of them. Its mission really left the greatest impact on the kids. They got to ride in the boat and see what the Baykeeper does, and they came back with this incredible feeling of stewardship for the water. That really inspired me in terms of working with the Baykeeper. When I look at the book, I’m very inspired to organize parties. You cover 18 parties in the book; getting invited to that many parties is pretty good, and with the Hamptons being so private, to be able to put what you saw in a book, that’s a miracle. That was not easy! Thank you for recognizing that; it’s a lot of work. I can say very proudly that the people featured in the book are all friends, and in almost every case, I’ve been their guest at some point, so I’ve experienced firsthand how wonderful it is to be in their home or their barn or on their yacht. I choose them [for Hamptons entertaining] because I admire how they gather friends, or some of them are fabulous cooks, and in many cases, they’re people who care about the same issues I do. I feel they were motivated to do [the book] not only for [the sake of] our friendship, but also to support the Baykeeper and the environment and the Hamptons, the place we all care about. When entertaining in your own home, what are some “musts” for you? First and foremost, the gathering has to be authentic, and what I mean by that is, generally, when I’m putting a group together, it’s all about the friends. It’s people who I really want to see, I want to connect or reconnect with, people continued on page 112

who I may want to introduce to other friends, just because I think they’ll enjoy each other.

The other must is just for fun; for me it’s the opportunity to create a tablescape, something whimsical or even just flowers from the garden. Whose invitations in the Hamptons do you always accept because you know it will be a memorable affair? Pretty much anyone in this book I’m going to say yes to because these are all people who I absolutely admire; they just make being in their home a warm, welcoming, and fun experience.

If You’re Selecting the Right Landscaper. 1. Will they complete the job within budget? Marders gives you a firm cost, not a +/-10% or so guesstimate.

2. Will they complete the job on time? Our crews are on our payroll and are trained by us. They remain on your site until the job is finished.

3. Do they provide a written guarantee? Marders gives you a 2-year written guarantee which we’ve stood behind for some 30 years.

4. Will they get all necessary permits, apply for variances, appear before Town or Village Zoning Boards, etc.? Do they know local regulations?

THESE HAMPTONS WOMEN HAVE PENNED THE SUMMER’S BEACH BAG–WORTHY READS. by juliet izon

The “beach book” is an integral part of a perfect summer day, regardless of whether you’re sunning on Georgica Beach with a riveting autobiography or camped out at Jack’s Stir Brew with the latest romantic tome. For decades, the Hamptons has been a welcome refuge for writers; everyone from Herman Melville to F. Scott Fitzgerald to John Steinbeck has spent time on the East End. Today, the tradition continues, with many of the country’s most prolific scribes both living and working out East. This season, Hamptons profiles six women authors, ranging from social-media goddess Aliza Licht to beloved Yoga Shanti founder Colleen Saidman Yee, whose latest tomes should be in everyone’s beach bags.

ALIZA LICHT Leave Your Mark: Land Your Dream Job. Kill It in Your Career. Rock Social Media Neighborhood: Bridgehampton. I knew I wanted to be a writer when: I took a creative writing class one summer in high school that I loved, but I didn’t dust off my writing skills until I started tweeting and blogging. It was then that my passion for writing was reborn. I write because: I have a lot to say about how to land your dream job, kill it in your career, rock social media, and create the brand of you. I wanted to write my book because: Thousands of online conversations have led to many a coffee, mentoring strangers. But who can have coffee with everyone who asks? Leave Your Mark is my way of grabbing that

COLLEEN SAIDMAN YEE Yoga for Life: A Journey to Inner Peace and Freedom Neighborhood: Sag Harbor. I knew I wanted to be a writer when: Esther Newberg—one of the most feared and respected book agents in the world, and one of my students —asked me to write a book. I would never say no to her, and I didn’t. I wanted to write my book because: My life has some pretty dramatic episodes; I thought that if I had the courage to be truly honest, it might spark something in someone else to connect to their own truth. I would often try to leave painful episodes of my life out of the book and get in a huff when [my coauthor] Susan [K. Reed], [husband] Rodney [Yee] and [friend] Robby [Stein] insisted that they were exactly the stories that needed to be told. If I omitted the shameful, uncomfortable stuff, they said, then I would be acquiescing in society’s pressure for women to silence themselves. So, I wrote the truth, and cried—a lot. My inspiration is: It could come from a poem, a song, a photo on Instagram, an article on Flipboard, or an interaction at King Kullen with the late-night clerk. The

Hamptons is integral to my writing because: I understand why there are so many writers and artists in the Hamptons. The air, the light, the sky, the stars, the beaches, and the fields are all so expansive, that when your mind gets cluttered and every sentence seems to not make sense, all you have to do is go outside and breath in the immense and broad-reaching beauty to clear your mind. Supporting other female authors is important because: Our stories need to be told. Women understand how difficult it is to feel confident that what we have to say is valid, so we can give each other the encouragement and fortitude to stick with it.

K ATE BETTS My Paris Dream: An Education in Style, Slang, and Seduction in the Great City on the Seine Neighborhood: Sag Harbor. I knew I wanted to be a writer when: I started writing for my high school newspaper. I write because: I’m a reporter at heart and I love to discover and tell stories. I wanted to write my book because: I wanted to tell my story and tell it with all the bumps and bruises I experienced along the way. Too often when we talk about our careers or our life stories, we only highlight success, but we learn more from our struggles and failures. When I have writer’s block, I overcome it by: Getting in the car and driving to Pike’s Farmstand on Sagg Main Street. I love that place and I love to cook. If things are really going badly, I’ll ride my bike over to Cavaniola’s Gourmet Cheese Shop but it’s quite dangerous to spend a lot of time there if you want to get into a bathing suit! My inspiration is: My mother. She always pushed me to express myself, to use my voice. One of my greatest regrets is that she didn’t live to read My Paris Dream. The pen is mightier than: The selfie. My favorite place to write in the Hamptons: The desk or chair in the front room of my home in Sag Harbor. We live very close to town and I like to sit right by the window so I can watch people coming and going. I feel like the Parisian concierge of Sag Harbor. CONTINUED ON PAGE 122

coffee. When I have writer’s block, I overcome it by: Tweeting. My favorite writers: I have some very talented friends: Kelly Cutrone (If You Have to Cry, Go Outside), Jessica Morgan and Heather Cocks “The Fug Girls” (The Royal We), and Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez “Tom & Lorenzo” (Everyone Wants to Be Me or Do Me). I love their sarcasm, humor, and dead-honest point of view. The Hamptons is integral to my writing because: It strips your brain of noise and distraction. My favorite place to write in the Hamptons: My backyard.

protagonists who were astronauts, lion keepers, and snoopy journalists. I wanted to write my book because: We wanted to create the kind of heroine we wanted to read about. Lucy and I have watched both the fashion and media industries completely change during the digital revolution. There are so many people out there who are figuring out their place in this new world. We think the book is hilarious, but it is also very real. The Hamptons is integral to my writing because: I need quiet to write and the Hamptons is a place where I can find that. I get so much of my inspiration from the complete madness of Manhattan, but when I want to get that down on paper I prefer to go to the beach. My favorite places to write in the Hamptons: Joni’s in Montauk in the off-season, when it is quiet. The lobby of the American Hotel in Sag Harbor with a few breaks to play backgammon, and Jack’s Stir Brew in Amagansett. In the winter, I go to The Palm in East

Hampton and write in front of the fireplace. LUCY: Neighborhood: Bridgehampton. I knew I wanted to be a writer when: I woke up in the middle of the night with the word Techbitch in my head two years ago, and the story just appeared to me. I wanted to write my book because: I looked at my own career, and some of the challenges and frustrations my friends and I felt as we got older in the fashion world, and I decided to do something productive with those frustrations. When I have writer’s block, I overcome it by: Reading, going to FlyBarre, and drinking cortados. The Hamptons is integral to my writing because: The light and the beach and the fields— especially out of season—give me time and space to think and rest. Supporting other female authors is important because: We’re in a position where we can help each other figure it out. Why not be stronger together as a team, rather than facing it all alone? My favorite place to write in the Hamptons: In front of a roaring fire in our tiny cottage with my husband keeping the children occupied somewhere out of earshot.

Neighborhood: Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor. I knew I wanted to be a writer when: My grandmother, when I was 17, gave me her Smith Corona typewriter and said to me, “Bubeleh, now write yourself out of this story.” Which I did! I write because: It’s cathartic for me and it saved my life as a teenager. If I didn’t have the written word to express myself, I don’t know if I’d still be here. I wanted to write my book because: I had to. Having a very paralyzing life growing up in Brooklyn in the ’80s led me to express myself on paper. So I guess you could say the writing came to me and it was my own personal therapy, which worked out well. When I have writer’s block: I overcome it by praying and sitting still. A walk on the beach always helps. The Hamptons is integral to my writing because: I can relate to this environment out here. It’s open and airy and full of great energy and happy people. Longhand or keyboard: Try BlackBerry. I love to feel the keys on my fingertips. Supporting other female authors is important because: “There is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women,” said Madeleine Albright—that’s why! My favorite places to write in the Hamptons: On the beach and in the morning on the grass.

from far left: Actor and Hamptonite Bob Balaban directs the production of The New Sincerity at Bay Street Theater, by playwright Alena Smith.

Leader of the Pact

In early 2012, shortly after the eviction of the Occupy Wall Street activists from NYC’s Zuccotti Park, Alena Smith noticed a young man wearing a jean jacket with a logo showing an image of a power fist and the word occupy. “I thought, Can political action be more than a fashion statement at this point?” recalls Smith. The 35-year-old playwright, who participated in the downtown protests against economic inequality, explores that moral conundrum in her drama The New Sincerity, directed by Hamptonite Bob Balaban, which begins a world-premiere engagement at the Bay Street Theater on May 26. The plot involves Rose, an ambitious 29-year-old writer, who works in the offices of

124 hamptons-magazine.com

an intellectual magazine led by Benjamin, its opportunistic editor, who has a crush on her. The couple plays their cat-and-mouse game against the backdrop of an Occupy Wall Street-like movement happening on the streets below and under the watchful eye of the magazine’s mischievous intern, Natasha. “The characters are looking for a way to be sincere, but it’s really very hard to trust anybody,” says Smith. “I wanted to look at the personal and relational dynamics of protesting. It’s hard for a movement to succeed if everyone’s hearts are not in the right place.” The relationship between Rose and Benjamin is complicated not only by of fice politics, but also by the fact that he is engaged to

be married to Sadie, who is then in the midst of writing a book about the death of leftist activism. The thesis of Benjamin’s unseen fiancée becomes threatened by the youthful idealism of the protesters, which Rose finds so inspirational, just as Smith herself was galvanized by the Occupy Wall

Street movement. “We were there to start building a new democracy, not to protest against one that had become corroded,” she says of the action’s Utopian ideals. “For all its flaws, [Occupy Wall Street] kept the idea of protest alive. It was certainly the most exciting civic action that I’d lived through. There was very little anger; there was joy and dancing, a drum circle, clothing, food, and books. Maybe the whole notion of protest needed rebranding. It was something that old hippies did. Now protest was something that cool hipsters do.” Examining one’s motives is murky business in any part of the human moral landscape, but Smith says that it is made more difficult

by the current age in which people are being asked to develop and address “a personal brand.” “Everyone has to be presenting an image of themselves on social media and the virtual world,” says the author of Tween Hobo: Off the Rails, a novel based on the popular twitter feed @tweenhobo. “How do you behave sincerely in a context that is literally an unending performance? I don’t want to say that it’s impossible, but it’s challenging. Part of it is that you have to accept that there’s always going to be degrees of insincerity, but that’s okay.” The New Sincerity runs May 26 through June 14 at Bay Street Theater, 1 Bay St., Sag Harbor, 725-9500; baystreet.org H

Internet Incarnate

Artist And rApper Yung Ja e debuts pieces from his metAlworks series At tripoli’s just-opened eAst hAmpton gAllery. by erin riley “What I like about the metal is that it’s familiar, but you can’t place it to a location,” says Yung Jake, an LA-based rapper and artist, whose new series of metalworks is currently showing at Tripoli Patterson’s recently opened East Hampton gallery location. This idea of using items that are familiar yet elusive not only characterizes Jake’s tech-based art (which also includes interactive HTML5 music videos and portraits made out of emojis), but more so, his persona. The press release for his recent exhibit at Steve Turner Gallery in Los Angeles read, “Yung Jake was born on the Internet in 2011,” and he only conducts interviews via text message. Jake first gained recognition with his 2011 video Datamosh, titled after the technique whereby video data files are manipulated to warp playback, which was screened in New York, Chicago, and Amsterdam. Following that, he released E.m-bed.de/d, a music video that takes over the viewer’s browser with virtual visuals and phrases. Both videos were featured at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012 and 2013. Since then, in between releasing rap songs on YouTube and gaining a loyal Instagram following with celebrity portraits made out of emojis, Jake has been building a series of metalworks that have

126 hamptons-magazine.com

been shown in Milan and Miami Beach. It’s fitting that Jake is only the second major artist to show at Patterson’s new gallery—his second location in the Hamptons. For one, Patterson has a reputation for supporting dynamic, contemporary artists; secondly, the two grew up together on the East End. “The first time I showed Jake’s work was in 2009, the first year I opened Tripoli Gallery in Southampton. It was in a group show titled “Of A Different Feather” with works by Lisa de Kooning and Gordon Stevenson. This will mark Yung Jake’s first solo exhibition with me, however,” says Patterson. “There are four of us all together—Ruby, me, Matisse, then baby boy Jake. We were always encouraged to be creative, whether it was making up games, coloring, drawing, or playing outside.” As part of his metalworks series, Jake’s new works follow his method of warping stock images using a 3-D program to mirror the contortion effects of salvaged metal structures (which he finds as is). “It’s all just found stuff put together in interesting ways, and anyone can do it,” he posts on Tumblr. “We’re all artists these days.” “Yung Jake/Twisted Metal III” is on display May 23 through June 21 at Tripoli Gallery East Hampton, 87 Newtown Lane, 324-0149; tripoligallery.com H

The American Dream

When Taylor Rose Berry, a resident of Sag Harbor and former BookHampton employee, envisioned opening her own bookstore, she pictured a quaint space reminiscent of a Parisian salon circa 1930. That vision was realized last November, with the opening of Harbor Books on Main Street. “My store is designed so readers can pass hours,” says Berry. “We don’t editorialize our selection; we thoughtfully curate it so everyone can find exactly what he or she is looking for.” The store will also host programming throughout the summer, like fiction and poetry workshops, story hours, and pajama parties. 20 Main St., Sag Harbor, 808-3401; harborbookssgh.com

Bonjour, Bistro

Le CharLot brings a very welcome taste of france to the heart of southampton.

Let’s talk plinths, shall we? For the low platform upon which a classical sculpture, vase, or column typically rests is a key ingredient at Le Charlot, the new Southampton branch of the Upper East Side très français (and très fun) bistro. The dishes that Le Charlot Southampton puts on a plinth, I would put on a pedestal. The hearts of palm and avocado salad is itself a plinth, with chunks of each ingredient leopard-spotting the shallow cylinder, held together with a mortar of avocado and set off by endive spears at two, four, eight, and 10 o’clock. It’s as if guacamole went to architecture school.

There’s a generous rectangle of tuna tartare, creamy and with just a hint of wasabi, reposing on a plinth of avocado as if it were at some decadent Roman repast. The low cliff of cod fish sits on a round plinth of lemon mashed potatoes, moated with a nicely inflected chorizo sauce. And the Cajun mahi-mahi, dashed in a grapefruit-lime sauce, rests on that most plinthable of ingredients, couscous. Le Charlot is a welcome frisson of Gallic joie di vivre on buttoned-up Main Street. The awning is royal blue, and there are six bistro tables and continued on page 136

chairs out front. About the only other thing the restaurant could do to emphasize the French connection would be to hand out espadrilles at the door (or perhaps the bread, baguettes from Eli’s that hew delectably to the classic French tradition of crispy crust and yielding center). What’s funny is that Le Charlot Southampton is an accident. Thierry Gelormini, who with his brother Bruno owns the Upper East Side Le Charlot, happened to be on Main Street last winter and saw the vacant space. “It’s the French way,” he says. “I knew what I wanted; I could visualize it.” It took three months to come to terms on the former Barrister space, and then, of course, there was construction. “I saw it white with red banquettes,” Gelormini says, and et voilà. The banquettes run along the wall opposite

the bar, which is made of vintage Corsican chestnut, once the floor of a house. (As it happens, Gelormini is also from Corsica.) You’d expect a zinc bar top, but here it is Grecian marble. The only other decorative touch is two Andy Warhol silk screens of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a close-up, vividly recolored. Warhol cropped it from Johann Henrich Wilhelm Tischbein’s iconic 1786 painting of the great German poet-philosopher reclining on, well, a plinth, in the countryside outside Rome. (The two have been lent by a Le Charlot regular.) Le Charlot Southampton is a fraternal twin of the one in Manhattan. There is the great moules, but only two versions (marinère and à la Thai). There is the organic mesclun salad and the frisèe aux lardons, but Southampton offers a traditional onion soup,

Organic roasted chicken, steak tartare—oui, oui—but here Gelormini is also offering magret de canard à l’orange and baked Brie in puff pastry. The latter made me wonder if Gallic enthusiasm hadn’t outrun bikini-ready-body anxiety. We’ll see—but two and a half cheers for culinary daredevilry. The restaurant was a work in progress when I dined. Two French chefs, one from Brittany, the other from the Luberon, were due to arrive any minute (visa red tape

had held up Luberon’s debut). There were a number of sure-to-be-popular dishes waiting in the wings, among them cold poached salmon salad (“the ladies who lunch love it,” says Gelormini), crab cakes, and lobster roll. So, too, was the back garden, which will have sofas, low tables, and a tapas menu— aprés plage, non? There’s a moment at every restaurant when something minor strikes you as being something key. At Le Charlot, it’s the ceiling. My eye was repeatedly seduced by the pooling ceiling lights. They

The banquettes (tables for two) lie along the far wall opposite the bar. There is one other row of tables, four-tops, running along a wainscotted divider that separates the dining room from the bar, and there’s a little reef of large-party tables in the wells of the shop windows at the front. Translation: Sixes and up are on display, two couples are beside what should be a bar throng in summer, and couples are on the wall. The deuce in the far back corner is the primo one, given the dining room vista. Avoid the last deuce at the back, which is right beside the entrance to the kitchen— and has a great view of it.

formed runways down the room and relaxed the eye, small moons haloed as on a humid Hamptons night. It’s the product of the high-gloss paint that Gelormini insisted on for the ceiling. His contractor tried strenuously to dissuade him, saying, “It will show all the defects.” To which Gelormini said something like, “Vive la imperfection.” And yes, the ceiling does ripple like a calm sea, but that paint massages the light into eye Prozac.

Tuna poke at Harbor Bistro is made from diced center-cut yellowfin; macadamia nuts and diced onions add crunch.

ToasT The 10Th anniversary of easT hampTon eaTery HarBor BiStro wiTh iTs classic Tuna poke. by matthew wexler “Waterfront comfort food,” is how Damien O’Donnell, executive chef and partner of Harbor Bistro, describes the East Hampton hot spot that celebrates its 10th anniversary this summer. O’Donnell says the restaurant’s goal since day one has been food that lives up to the eatery’s picturesque locale—and the signature dish that has withstood the test of time: yellowfin tuna poke. From Street Cart to BiStro

Traditional poke (pronounced poh-KEH) originates from Hawaii and is part of a culinary tradition that O’Donnell became familiar with while working for celebrated Hawaiian fusion chef Roy Yamaguchi. “Salty, sweet, savory—there’s a lot of excitement involved in Asian cooking,” says O’Donnell. They all converge in poke, a dish more commonly found in Hawaii as street cart food, utilizing the trim or chain meat that comes off the loin. Poke is typically tossed with spicy sesame oil, soy sauce, and onions; Harbor Bistro takes the concept and elevates its components for a dish worthy of the Hamptons. SliCe, DiCe, anD toSS

In lieu of trim, O’Donnell uses center-cut yellowfin tuna, dicing the fish to a uniform quarter-inch cut—slightly smaller than its typical, more rustic preparation. Toasted macadamia nuts and diced onions add a bit of crunch and heat, while similarly cut tomatoes provide a needed punch of acidity. The dressing takes an earthy sidetrack with the addition of truffle oil, while fresh ginger juice brightens the sum of its parts. For a final flourish, O’Donnell adds diced avocado, noting that the perfect ripeness (not too soft) is necessary to maintain the integrity of each ingredient. Once combined, the poke is served on a delicate bed of hijiki black seaweed salad, simply dressed with rice vinegar, soy, and pickled lotus root.

While tuna poke may be considered one of Harbor Bistro’s signature dishes, O’Donnell sees it as a springboard for exploring new takes on global cuisine. “As a chef you never hit a moratorium of knowledge; there’s always more to learn,” says O’Donnell. “The menu has a lot of Asian influence, but I show my appreciation for all types of cuisine. Our guests are worldly, and I want to give them some of those experiences that they may have had in their travels.” 313 Three Mile Harbor-Hog Creek Road, East Hampton, 324-7300; harborbistro.net H

Using seasonal local berries and qUinoa, rather than granola, EndlEss summEr Cookbook aUthor atie Lee revives a breakfast staple. by scott feldman Whether in her own Water Mill kitchen or on Food Network’s The Kitchen, Katie Lee exuberantly embraces life through food, friends, and favors. Her most recent collection of recipes, Endless Summer Cookbook, features more than 100 of her favorite recipes for warm-weather soirées, many featuring ingredients sourced right here on the East End. Here, she gives Hamptons a behind-the-scenes look at her seasonal favorites when spending time out East. Favorite time of year: Summer! Best surf spot: I surf in Southampton, but I can’t tell you where exactly... Downtime activity: In my spare time, I am learning to speak French. I’m a total Francophile, and I have always wanted to be able to speak the language. Most-used summer ingredient: When tomatoes come in season,

146 hamptons-magazine.com

1 cup cooked quinoa, cooled 8 large strawberries, diced 2 kiwi fruit, peeled and diced In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, honey and lime zest. Place four small juice glasses on a work surface and put 2 tablespoons quinoa in the bottom of each. Add ¼ a cup of yogurt to each glass, followed by 2 tablespoons of strawberries and kiwi. Repeat the layering in each glass; scatter leftover fruit over the top layer of yogurt. Serve immediately.

I use them constantly. Favorite ingredient overall: Garlic salt. This summer’s cocktail: I love rum; I’m all about my watermelon rum punch recipe in Endless Summer. Best foodrelated memory: Breakfast at my grandparents’ was always a big deal. Everyone would hang out around the kitchen table and [Grandma] would make the most incredible buttermilk biscuits and smother them in sausage gravy. Who’s at your Hamptons table: My house has a revolving door of guests all summer long. I love having friends and family over. What’s being served: Tons of fresh fruits and veggies from Green Thumb and other local markets, grilled meats, and plenty of rosé. What’s in your garden this summer: I am not a gardener, so I leave that to the pros. I love going to Marders and looking at all of the beautiful plants and accessories. I am doing a book signing on Memorial Day weekend there as well. I am so excited to have my book in its gift shop since it’s one of my favorite places. Go-to kitchen tool: I love my food processor and I got turned on to the spiralizer last year. I’m obsessed with making zucchini “spaghetti” with it. Favorite local restaurant: Dave’s Grill in Montauk. Best-kept secret? The mussels at Suki Zuki. Summer soundtrack: I love reggae in the summer. I never get tired of Bob Marley.

Cold-Pressed

After clean eating and cold-pressed juices swept the nation, and certainly the Hamptons, the next au natural trend to emerge has been “clean cocktailing.” Rather than weighing down vodka or tequila with loads of unhealthy, high-calorie add-ons, two forward-thinking creators launched MixCraft and CleanDrinking, touting alcohol-free mixers poised to put a fresh-squeezed (and dare we say, healthy) pop back into your glass. MixCraft (mixcraftmix.com)

was the fresh-pressed dream of Greg Broom, a cocktail enthusiast and tinkerer who got tired of going to parties and seeing high-end spirits paired with uninspired mixers. “I would see these bars full of beautiful, premium spirits, but they were being paired with store-bought mixers full of high-fructose corn syrup!” he decries. Broom started out on a lark, sourcing local ingredients from his nearby green market, concocting just the right blend for his own healthy-mixing

purposes. But you can’t keep a delicious idea down: He rolled out his trio of products in 2014, with NYC nightspot The Box taking a shine to the refreshing, good-for-you blends and using them for its table service. Cold-pressed (a method that preserves nutrients), the juices come in a trio of flavorful mixes: vitamin C-packed Cucumber Basil; antioxidant-rich and spicy Watermelon Habanero; and citrusy Detox Retox, a cleansing combo of lemon juice, organic agave, and

cayenne pepper. Fresh off the fruit presses, CleanDrinking’s (clean drinking.com) VodkaCleanse contains less than 40 calories a pour and has absolutely no unpronounceable preservatives or added sugar. It’s the body-friendly brainchild of fitness fanatic Blair Borthwick, and right now VodkaCleanse comes in PineappleLove (pineapple, lime, yuzu, and ginger) and RaspberryAddict (raspberry, watermelon, lime, and ginger), while TequilaCleanse

is available in HotaMelon (watermelon, sour orange, and chili pepper). Flavors will change seasonally, though, so keep your ice fresh and your eyes peeled for more. All of the CleanDrinking juices hit shelves this month and are available at local stores, including East Hampton Gourmet Food (66 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, 329-3993; easthamptongourmet food.com) and Marie Eiffel Market (184 N. Ferry Road, Shelter Island, 749-0003; marieeiffelmarket.com). H

Resy, a mobile restaurant reservations app, launches in the hamptons. by erin riley

Nowadays, most conveniences are available with the tap of a fngertip, and that certainly includes coveted and last-minute spots at the best restaurants. “People place a high value on access and convenience,” says Ben Leventhal, the creator of eater.com and cofounder of Resy, a reservation app that launched in the city last June and in the Hamptons on May 1. Instead of charging a fee for every cover booked, customers pay a convenience fee. “We wanted to partner with restaurants we personally love and those that deliver a consistent experience every time,” says Leventhal, who is partnering with Sunset Beach, Topping Rose House, Ruschmeyer’s, Tutto il Giorno, and the newly opened Scarpetta Beach to provide highly in-demand tables. resy.com
